Premium SSD v1 disks that would cost less on v2

A disk on an older storage tier
The agent reports this
Reversible
Why it happens

The newer tier lets you pay for size and speed separately. Most older disks end up cheaper on it for the same performance.

Premium SSD v2 decouples capacity from performance, so a v1 disk sized up purely to reach an IOPS tier is usually cheaper on v2 at the same real performance.

Premium SSD v2 is not offered in every region, so confirm availability before planning a migration.

What the agent does about it

A Premium SSD v1 disk where a Premium SSD v2 of the same performance costs less.

It will not fix this one

Premium SSD paying to burst and never bursting

A Premium SSD with on-demand bursting switched on that has not burst once in the window, so the flat monthly enablement fee is buying a capability the workload never reaches for.

Disk IOPS above what the attached VM can deliver

A Premium disk provisioned for IOPS the attached VM size cannot use, so the customer pays for throughput they physically cannot reach.

Premium disk on a VM that has been off all window

A Premium SSD attached to a virtual machine that has been deallocated for the whole window, so it bills for performance nothing is using.
